Is the free space that you added a separate container (logical drive -as
you call it), or is it an extension of your current container?
In Disk Administrator, you will need the added space in the same "disk",
probably Disk 0, in order for diskpart to work. Only on your second
partition, E:, will be extendable.
Keep your disk as basic, you won't be able to extend if you convert to
dynamic disk.
Best regards
